Chapter 22: He Looks Like a Human
Aunt Qiao had just put lunch on the table when Mu Yuting walked in.
He is a well-known workaholic. Not to mention lunch, he rarely eats dinner at home. Aunt Qiao was secretly happy. It's different when you have someone you care about. He missed his wife after not seeing her for just one morning.
There is progress.
Mu Yuting handed the shopping bag in his hand to Aunt Qiao, "Wash it later and bring it up to her."
"OK."
"Is she awake?"
"The young lady has woken up and is in much better spirits. She has eaten some porridge."
Aunt Qiao didn't know that the young master was going home for dinner, so she only prepared some light meals. While the young master was washing his hands, she quickly fried a steak for him with olive oil and made a vegetable salad.
This is the good thing about Mu Yuting. Although he is cold and arrogant, he is not picky about food.
After he sat down, Aunt Qiao took the initiative to say, "The young lady is still resting upstairs. I'll go and call her downstairs for dinner."
"No need, I don't like sitting at the same table with strangers." Mu Yuting said coldly.
Aunt Qiao was speechless. You didn't like strangers, but you still brought the girl home. You didn't like her, but you fed her medicine mouth to mouth, stayed with her all night, and bought her clothes even though you didn't like her.
But these words were just Aunt Qiao's ventriloquism, and she would never dare to say them out loud.
"Then I'll bring the meal upstairs for Miss."
"Um."
This is what Mu Yuting meant. Xiao Nuan was just feeling better, and he didn't want her to run up and down the stairs. He cared about her but didn't say it out loud.
While Xiao Nuan was eating, Aunt Qiao stayed by her side and chatted with her, thinking of taking the tableware away after she finished eating.
Xiao Nuan had never been treated like this before and felt quite embarrassed.
Just after finishing eating, Mu Yuting came in from the door and coughed lightly, "Aunt Qiao, where is my cup?"
That arrogant expression seemed to say: I'm here to get a cup, not to see someone.
When Xiao Nuan saw him, her mouth opened wide in surprise, so wide that an egg could fit in it. "Nouveau riche, why are you here?"
"What do you think?" Mu Yuting's face was as cold as ice.
This stupid woman asked me why I was here in my house. Is there any stupider question in the world than this?
I took care of her in vain last night.
He glanced at Xiao Nuan seemingly casually. Her face was much rosier than yesterday, and her high ponytail was neat and tidy, full of youthful vitality.
Become a human being now.
Nouveau riche? Aunt Qiao wondered if this was a nickname between the two of them, quite a unique one.
No, the two of them look tense and seem to have a grudge against each other.
Aunt Qiao quickly tugged at Xiao Nuan's clothes and said, "Miss, this is our young master. He is the one who saved you."
what?
Everyone has seen a large-scale social death scene, right? It’s what Xiao Nuan looks like now.
Xiao Nuan never dreamed that she would be rescued by this guy.
It's so embarrassing that it opens the door to embarrassment. It's so embarrassing.
Xiao Nuan came back to her senses and thought that she must thank the person who saved her.
Xiao Nuan bowed deeply to Mu Yuting and said sincerely, "Thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you when I have the chance. I have to go back to school first. Goodbye."
After that night in the hotel, the person Xiao Nuan was most afraid of seeing was this guy, and she tried to avoid him whenever possible.
But the injury on her forehead caused by Lu Yuan had not yet healed, and she had been caught in the rain and had a high fever yesterday. The bow she just made was too forceful, resulting in a temporary lack of blood supply to her brain.
Xiao Nuan suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Aunt Qiao supported her from behind in time and asked nervously, "Miss, are you okay?"
Xiao Nuan grabbed Aunt Qiao's arm. She had a terrible headache, but she comforted her, "It's okay. I'll be fine after a while."
Mu Yuting's heart tightened for a moment, and he wanted to hug her, but when he saw Aunt Qiao had already supported her, he breathed a sigh of relief and pretended not to see it.
Aunt Qiao helped Xiao Nuan sit down on the sofa. At this time, Mu Yuting's cell phone rang and he went out to answer the call.
Xiao Nuan calmed down for a moment, then suddenly noticed she was still wearing a men's nightgown. She looked at Aunt Qiao and asked, "Aunt Qiao, can you lend me some clothes? I'll wash them and bring them back to you when I get to school."
Aunt Qiao held Xiao Nuan's hand and said, "Of course, Miss, but you are still weak and can't leave now. Can you stay a few more days?"
"No need, Aunt Qiao. Thank you for being so kind to me, even though we just met by chance. I will come to see you often in the future."
Aunt Qiao was really worried about her. "When the young master brought you back yesterday, you were unconscious and had a high fever. You were talking nonsense, which scared me. Fortunately, the young master fed you some medicine, and your fever went away. You're not fully recovered yet, so you need to rest more."
"Did he feed me medicine?" Xiao Nuan asked in surprise.
She is most afraid of taking medicine and will vomit after taking a little. When she was sick as a child, her mother couldn't feed her medicine. How did he feed her medicine?
Before Aunt Qiao could say anything, Mu Yuting walked in after finishing his phone call and said coldly, "Feed her medicine? Do I have so much free time?"
There was no warmth in the voice, as if it was freezing people.
He glanced at Xiao Nuan out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that she was fine, he took the cup on the coffee table and went out with peace of mind.
Aunt Qiao couldn't stand the hypocritical and cold attitude.
Last night, Aunt Qiao came up to deliver ginger soup and saw with her own eyes through the crack in the door that the young master was feeding Xiao Nuan the medicine mouth to mouth. Now he is refusing to admit it.
Aunt Qiao quickly explained to Xiao Nuan, "Miss, our young master is just like this. He looks cold, but he actually has a very good character. He just doesn't know how to express it."
Seeing Xiao Nuan didn't say anything, Aunt Qiao took her hand and continued to persuade her, "You are in such a bad condition, I really don't feel safe for you to leave. If you encounter something on the way, I will feel uneasy too. Just stay and chat with me, okay, good girl?"
Aunt Qiao's words of "good boy" were so warm, just like her own mother, and almost made Xiao Nuan cry. She nodded in agreement repeatedly.
Aunt Qiao tried so hard to keep Xiao Nuan, firstly because she really liked this girl, and secondly because she had watched Mu Yuting grow up, and she knew him too well. He was almost thirty years old, and there were girls chasing him in a row, but had he ever looked any of them in the eye?
But when the young master brought the girl back yesterday, his face was full of worry, which could not be faked. He was definitely concerned about this girl.
The young master is already 29 years old. Children of his age are already helping with cooking. He cannot miss this opportunity to get married.
I have to help the young master no matter what.
Aunt Qiao looked at the girl in front of her. Her unmade-up face was watery, delicate and attractive.
Beautiful beyond words.
The young master really has good taste.
…
In the evening, Aunt Qiao came to the bedroom with a pile of clothes and a lavender bag.
"Miss, this is the clothes that the young master bought at noon. I have washed them. Can you try them on to see if they fit you?"
"Aunt Qiao, just call me Xiao Nuan. It sounds weird to call me Miss."
"Okay, from now on, I'll call you Xiao Nuan," Aunt Qiao said, smiling as she placed the clothes on the bed. "Try them on."
"Oh, by the way, I've been busy today and forgot to get you some slippers, so you've been barefoot the whole time. If the young master hadn't called to remind me just now, I wouldn't have remembered. I'm really old and confused. Don't mind it."
Mu Yuting called and asked Aunt Qiao to find her a pair of slippers, but also told her not to talk too much. Aunt Qiao only remembered the first half of the sentence.
"It's okay, Aunt Qiao. It's summer now, and it's cooler to go barefoot."
This girl is so considerate.
There were no ladies' slippers at home, so Aunt Qiao found a pair of the young master's slippers for her to wear. She was so happy while looking for them. She felt that there would soon be a mistress in the house, and it felt different. The huge house suddenly became much warmer.
After Aunt Qiao left, Xiao Nuan looked at the clothes on the bed. The small light purple bag next to it aroused her curiosity. She opened it and saw a set of exquisite black underwear.
Xiao Nuan blushed instantly. He bought it? Even the number was perfect. How did he know my number?
It must have been that night...
It's so embarrassing.
